Guitar Hero franchise set to take on iTunes with online music platform
GUITAR Hero, the play-along console game, is set to develop an online music platform to rival iTunes.
The game’s maker Activision Blizzard, said an online platform was the “natural evolution” of a franchise that has sold nearly 20 million units and generated more than 506m in revenues.
Bobby Kotick, chief executive of Activision, said: “I don’t think there have been a lot of credible alternatives to iTunes, but Guitar Hero certainly has the potential.”
Activision and Vivendi completed a merger yesterday.
